The word Shanda is defined as shame or disgrace in Yiddish. Shanda tells how three generations of 20th Century Jews’ desire to fit in and their fear of public humiliation either drove their aspirations or crushed their spirit. Pogrebin candidly exposes lies and intricate coverups woven by dozens of family members.

Today, wellness is almost an obsession for the American woman. But does wellness require guzzling kombucha and using aromatherapy? The book examines how and why American women have been led down a costly kale-covered path. Part investigative report, part sociological analysis, part personal account, this book shows what happens when the cure becomes as bad as the disease.
